A great BI tool for driving key business decisions
We use Grow across our entire organization. Initially, we used it mainly in Sales Ops, but have since extended its use across CS and Marketing as well. As a growing startup company, we need customizable reporting that gives us quick and accurate insights so we can pivot our approach to product development and how we sell the product.
- Grow is very customizable, allowing us the build the BI graphics that really move our business
- Grow has compelling visuals that help to digest information quickly
- Grow has a great support team that has always been there when we need them
- The navigation between different dashboards is not very clean and impairs the effectiveness of live presentations
- The graphs and visuals are good, especially for small businesses, but it doesn't take it to the next level for us and really wow stakeholders
- There is no preview option to understand how the dashboards will present on different devices making it difficult to anticipate sizing for presentations

Using Grow.com for marketing team
We use Grow.com as a way to combine analytics from various sources on easy-to-read dashboards.
- Combine data sources such as Bronto click-through-rates with Google Analytics revenue.
- Visualize data.
- Offer many different connections/sources.
- There are limits to what data can be shown, but that has more to do with the various APIs than Grow.
- The pricing structure is less-than-ideal.
- If a source/API disconnects for some reason, it's time consuming to get it to work.

Great dashboarding tool, and great looking as well!
For companies looking for a fully featured business intelligence platform, I'd keep looking. However, when you know what you're getting—easy and quickly visualized data, primarily for marketing and sales, then Grow is really going to shine. It's simple, easy to use, easy to integrate, and looks pretty darn good. It's still relatively new, so there's some catching up to do, but it's really solid as a dashboard platform.
- Visualizations are really solid. It's extremely well designed and laid out.
- UX and UI is fantastic. Gives you exactly what you're looking for, and typically where you're looking for it.
- Simple to integrate common platforms and pull data.
- There are basic labeling issues with some of the graph types. Wish there was more customizability here, especially on complex graphs.
- Could help more with analysis of data and trends, but that's going into full-fledged BI territory.
- The functionality of being able to snapshot data isn't quite there.

Grow.com Gives You the Insights You've Been Looking For!
Grow.com is used primarily by marketing when it comes to the architecture and building of the dashboards, but several other departments utilize the dashboards from a viewership perspective. Our CEO has told us he gets more insight than he ever has before in the history of the company. One of the main problems we were trying to solve it bringing in all of these sources of data into one central location for analysis.
- Grow.com is very easy to use with minimum experience in databases or SQL
- Most of the metrics are aesthetically pleasing compared to other competitors
- They are continuing to improve and add more and more datasources as time goes on
- Their pricing structure can be difficult as they charge for the peak number of metrics you have used over a given time
- Some of the individual metrics are not as customizable as one would like
- Using some of the spreadsheet functions take some learning and are not as intuitive as the rest of the product seems

Grow has been great for us
Grow is being used widely throughout our company. A big part of my role is to evangelize data-driven decision making across the organization, and Grow helps me do that by giving me a lot of flexibility in quickly setting up new metrics as well as in easily sharing the output with my colleagues to motivate their decision-making.
- Ability to query an embedded SQLite database full of data integrated from disparate sources using a non-crippled version of SQL.
- Ease of integration with cloud data sources.
- Ease and flexibility in setting up charts from tabular data.
- When data integrations perform poorly (e.g. not Grow's fault) it is hard to tell from the UI what operation I am waiting on and what the progress is. Furthermore, there is no way to manually cache/expire a big data pull that could be queried repeatedly after the fact while developing a metric. This can make developing new metrics against slower integrations somewhat frustrating.
We initially looked into Grow to be our outsourced reporting engine to our technology as we continued to develop our own in-house solutions. Primarily, we used it to create customer-facing pipeline reports. Once getting the hang of Grow, we then began using it across the company's departments to report on sales activity and revenue, customer health, and other important high-level metrics.
- I love the fact that you have a team of developers who can help me build metrics or fix metrics that I do not create properly. I had to learn SQL in order to really build the metrics that mattered, which was a lot of fun, but resulted in many broken metrics. The vendor's team was great in responding to me requests for help!
- Really, really appreciate the fact that Grow has SQL formulas to reference when building metrics. Again, as a novice, this accelerated my ability to learn and not have to leave your site and resources and stay within the Grow web properties.
- Great account managers who check in regularly and are willing to help out whenever needed.
- I really think Grow needs to consider putting on its roadmap the ability to customize the automated emails that are sent if you choose to send daily / weekly / monthly dashboards. We created dashboards for each of our customers, and the emails that are sent have a link to sign into your account, but our customers do not have an account. There was, and continues to be, a lot of confusion there.
- Pricing is a little confusing. We have since moved to the white-label solution (super cool Grow has that), but I am not motivated to create a bunch of dashboards. On one end, the per-dashboard pricing is good because it forces us to be more intentional with our dashboards. However, because we use the dashboards for internal reporting with our company as well as reporting to our customers, we are now building our own reporting in our own tech to minimize our costs with Grow.
- Love that Grow has some template metrics to use! Would love to see more of those, or metric examples from other companies using specific tools Grow integrates with.

Grow is a valuable tool if you are data-driven, but don't want your day to be slogged down interpreting data.
We use Grow to aggregate report information from a couple of different resources (VersionOne and Zoho). VersionOne has some reports built into the product, but it didn't allow me to see the information I really wanted to look into. I used the Custom API integration from Grow and have it pulling the data I care about and presented in a simple way, allowing me to see what is needed.
The charts are used across the organization to get a pulse on productivity and if there are any areas which may need additional attention or guidance.
The charts are used across the organization to get a pulse on productivity and if there are any areas which may need additional attention or guidance.
- Creating a new metric is simple and easy to learn.
- Grow does a good job of abstracting the user away from needing to know SQL to see what they want.
- Grow also allows me to dive in deep by writing my own SQL to manipulate the data when I need to.
- Some more advanced options would be very interesting. The API I use allows me to pull information based on an 'asof' modifier. Thus setting the date for which I care about the data. It would be super awesome if I could make that variable and not a fixed date. So that I could pull information 'asof' 2 weeks ago, 1 week ago, and today and compare.

Great Product
We use Grow across the whole company. We use it to display daily metrics for individuals as well as departmental trends of the quarter and year. It allows us to aggregate multiple Salesforce reports in one dashboard to easily visualize the data.
- Easy to learn and administer
- Great customer success team
- Ascetically clean and appealing
- I wish you could filter by date range within Grow rather than having to edit the data source.

A great tool for visualizing disparate data-sets
We utilize Grow as a way to connect multiple sources of data in order to deliver an easy-to-understand ROI report for our client partners. Previously we relied on each department within our agency to create independent reports. This lead to inconsistency in methodology and in the deliverables themselves. Grow has helped to reduce this friction.
- Grow has a wide range of connectors, without having so many as to be cost-prohibitive.
- The support team at Grow has been very helpful, which is necessary especially when learning about a brand new software.
- More flexibility on the client-facing UI would be nice (the ability to lasso multiple metrics/widgets and move at once, for example).
- Bulk date-range changing from the client-facing report.

A Dashboard that has really made a difference...
We adopted Grow across our entire organization, to be the single platform to communicate important metrics and KPIs. We had previously struggled to combine important data from the many systems and platforms that we utilize inside of our business.
- We like how easy it is to automate the reporting from our ERP, CRM, Front-End Sales System, Phone Analytics and more directly into Grow.
- The mobile App for Grow is excellent and allows employees across 13 states to access the data easily and while on the go.
- Great look and feel. We are flexible to show our data in a multitude of formats and styles.
- Real time data.
- I would like to see a steady stream of new styles and templates that would make it easy for us to keep our dashboards fresh and exciting.

Getting Grouchy Generating Gain-less Graphs? Give Grow a GO!
We use Grow to track and measure marketing metrics for our clients. These metrics serve as a reporting feature we can offer our client base. Grow is a very useful tool to track lead generation tactics and methods. We can determine effectiveness and measure success all on one screen.
- Out-of-the box connectivity. Chances are very good (very good!) that Grow connects to all the tools you use to run your business. Most connections are as simple as login/password.
- Reporting flexibility. Metrics can be anything from a simple number (You have 12 leads this week) to a complex graphical display of multiple reporting sources (Your 12 leads came from PPC, LinkedIn, Calls from this location, these three forms on your website, these organic search terms and that Twitter follower who re-tweets all your posts).
- Reports are share-able without being editable. Sharing a report is as easy as sending a URL or exporting a PDF.
- Dashboard styling is severely lacking. While the metrics look fine on their own, it doesn't take long before your dashboard can look like a Data Scientist vomited all over your monitor. Creating pages within a dashboard would be awesome. Adding sections with different heading styles and background colors would be helpful.
- Dashboard layout. Re-arranging metrics on a dashboard is cumbersome. If the user could zoom-out, rearrange the metrics then zoom back in, it would make the layouts so much easier to manage.
- Labeling data points. If I could only click on the chart and type my own labels . . .
Our organization is in six countries around the world and we use Grow to consolidate data and monitor each operation. Before we had Excel sheets that would link to an Excel sheet that would link to more Excel sheets. The old process was prone to errors and we relied on monthly reports that often came two weeks after the close of the month.
- Simple, It may not have as many bells and whistles as some other products but I can do it myself and I don't need a dev guy.
- Grabs data from so many sources.
- We sometime have issues with the browser tab shutting down.

Good Data for sales management
This is a great way for us to see the performance of our sales teams and our partner growth. [Grow] is Allowing us to see metrics that matter not only to management but to the field level sales force.
- MTD/YTD tracking
- Partner tracking
- Opportunity level tracking
- Update speed is not real-time.
- Sometimes the information is not always accurate.

Can't Grow Without Grow!
Every single department has key metrics in Grow, and we look at them every day. We use Grow to make sure we're hitting our goals and pushing on the right levers to influence growth.
- Super flexible so you can get most of your metrics in there.
- It's really pretty so everyone likes looking at it.
- It can be really technical and difficult to work with so most team members can't really set up their own metrics.
- It can be really slow when you're trying to load a lot of data.

Grow is great
We use Grow to merge different data points into one visual dashboard, mostly for marketing purposes but also sales and support.
- Combining multiple sources and integrations.
- 'Concierge' help to get things started.
- Simple and intuitive UX.
- Fewer emails reminding us that we're not logging in enough.

We Will Continue to Grow!
We use Grow as a great snap-shot way to view our most crucial metrics and display them for our team as well as our partners that visit our office. The way that Grow can pull from a myriad of formats is very helpful and allows us to keep some of our current internal processes rather than formatting to them. It saves us time and allows us to be more versatile with how we measure our successes and work on our sore spots.
- Response time with the reps is very quick and they keep it in laymen's terms for non-IT people to understand.
- They adapt to us, rather than us formatting to them.
- The dashboards are easy to read and can be customized to fit most of our needs.
- The dashboards could allow for a little more customization. Banner changes, font changes, and more colors.
Grow is used by our corporate team to manage individual job sites. We are able to see at a glance what our leasing, delinquency, NOI vs. Budget and other indicators look like at a glance. Grow helps us to quickly spot and resolve any big problem areas at a job site. The graphs especially help with spotting issues.
- Grow has a simple interface.
- Grow is easy to view reports and data. You click on a department, and all the data you need is visible right away.
- Grow could use some work simplifying how you set up dashboards. Setting up dashboards can be confusing and time-consuming.
- While integration exists for a number of platforms, there are still a few platforms that need to be added in order for Grow to be an all inclusive dashboard platform.

Grow will help you grow! (See what I did there?)
Grow is being used by all departments within our company. It provides real-time data to all team members. The new filter and drill function has eliminated many reports. Now the data is available in seconds with a few clicks.
- Customer Service - They are always willing to help.
- Continuous Improvement - New features and improvements are hitting the platform constantly.
- User-Friendly - Everything I have used in Grow has been quite intuitive.
- Growing Company - this is a pro because their platform is also growing with new features, but you may have a number of different account reps because they are growing so quickly.

Grow your business with Grow
We currently utilize the Grow dashboards for instant detailed feedback. They have the ability to give us a visual representation of how we are performing relative to our goals and reflect this data on televisions around the office. We have about 70 different metrics that we track to give us insight into the health of our business. The staff at Grow are so helpful it is almost like they are working for you (on your team). I have approached them with many different scenarios in trying to dive deeper into the analytics of our company and each time they respond with assisting me in designing and implementing a solution. I personally think of them as our in-house analytics division, even though from a capital expense standpoint they are simply another SAAS line item for us. Highly recommend Grow to anyone looking to gain a better understanding coupled with some really exceptional visuals.
- Assisting with onboarding of how to use the platform.
- Visuals for just about any data metric you can imagine.
- Support Staff is exceptional.
- Does not currently have integration with SharePoint.

Built for KPIs
We are using Grow to report all KPIs across all functions of the organization. We display Grow results on TV monitors in our both offices and the leadership team also uses it to see all KPIs on almost a daily basis.
- Grow integration with NetSuite works perfectly well and they have integrations with other applications as well.
- Grow's UI is very user-friendly. I created several charts without training.
- Grow's support staff is very good in resolving issues as well.
- The issue we are having currently is Grow times out on the TV monitors during the night and the next day we need to log in again to see the results. If they can fix this issue it will greatly help.

Grow will help you.. well... GROW!
We have been using grow to help visualize every measurable area of our company. From marketing channels, list health, course performance. Grow helps create a snapshot of every area of the business
- The support is very good. It very easy to get someone on the phone and everyone you speak to really understands the application.
- The software is great. It connects with everything and is straight forward and powerful.
- Sometimes it has an issue with very large datasets and the app slows down a little bit. Not the biggest issue though.

Grow for Company and Client Facing Reports
We use Grow to pull data from disparate back end systems to create company and client-facing reports. We just don't have the time to use spreadsheets and we cannot spare dev time to pull data. We have a long way to go, but this is a rare time when all stakeholders are in agreement on how to proceed.
- Pull data from different systems
- Advanced SQL queries
- Charts, tables, and graphics
- Better charts, tables, and graphics. Need a "Google Studio".

End user review of GROW!
We use Grow to track sales numbers. It allows us to see where we are at on our monthly and yearly sales goals. We also track numbers of sales by individual products.
- Shows up to date sales numbers
- Shows numbers of sales of different product lines
- Gives a snapshot of where individual salesmen are at compared to the rest of the company
- Speed at which it pulls data from our database
- One-click switching between tabs instead of two
- Format columns smaller

Grow Review
It is used to help us measure our submittals, weekly and monthly. It has mostly been used as one of our measuring systems to help us track our data. We also use it fiscally to help us track our clients' revenue and our revenue as well as a company working with many clients.
- It is much easier to track data
- It has helped us in a business sense to break down the data weekly and monthly
- It would be nice to get popup notifications once you've hit your goals or if you are short
June 22, 2017
We love Grow
We use Grow across the business to pull in metrics from over 3 sources. This allows us to view important data in one place. It also solved the problem with integrating with our ERP. We had tried a few companies like Grow that were unable to help us access data from our ERP.
- Easy to use.
- Easy to understand.
- Support is awesome.
- I think they could improve on the price.
